yeah, that was one of my idea why it won't work..

do you think the weight of the piston is one also? it's made out of steel tubes made into piston-like?

what about the cold source, which is ice? do you think it's enough?

here is another drawing with labels.. what do you mean by the boar and stroke should be the same? the power piston and displacer piston's stroke should be the same? sorry im just new to this, really.. the crankshaft support connected to the water box (cool source), so the end with the crankshaft is ...

Please help me, the engine is made already. The friction is fine, Minimal Leaks. Crankshaft is good, the angle's are good.. But it won't seem to work/run.. My first analysis is that it's the weight of the piston.. Both pistons are made from steel tubing/tube.. Attached is a design with measurements ...

sir, i got a question, should i make the tube connecting both cylinders as small as possible?
if its quite big is it a possible problem for the pressure and making the engine not to work?

updates2x, i had the cylinders closed, and soon test it out, hoping it will work this time... sigh... basically my heat source is like a burning charcoal and the cold source are ice and some water, for the materials used on the cylinder and piston are steel tubes, rendered, and shaped perfectly like...

here, what if i remove the hose.. then replace the water box with a cold plate.. and attach the both cylinders at differend ends? make it like an alpha type stirling engine.. will it work?

i cant help but notice... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4LIO_xs1es&feature=related this engine also runs w/o the top covered... damn it, gonna test this out first.. and consult with our adviser... then do the editing... thnx guys! gonna post pictures of the real deal a week from now.. and upda...

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2207/64548669.png will this engine work? the red spot indicates the heat source.. and thats the placement of the engine.. not vertically. but horizontally.. i got confused wether it will work because the displacer cylinder and power cylinder are open on the other en...

Thanks guys! I've got the engine almost done.. Please help me make the crankshaft please.. The parts of the crankshaft i need to build it.. < This confuses me.. And I've tried placing u-joints and knuckle join on the connecting rods before connecting it to the crankshaft.. but no store in our countr...

im kinda like 15 years old... in the Philippines...

Where/How to make a graphite piston?

Hi, I'm not sure why you have so many pistons. You only need two. I changed your diagram. See if you can get hold/make of a graphite piston for the power piston they are really smooth and perfect for this engine. It is becuase, the fan is used to give air unto the charcoal [the heat source]..... My...

here it is.... http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/7734/waaar.png Description... The Area with red paint, is where it gets heat... (through charcoal...) that area is where the charcoal stove is.... The piston with pink/violet paint needs to be on the other side at first.... So is the piston with blue...

Hi Guyz!!! I'm 3rd Year High School student here in the Philippenes... and i was wondering if you guyz could help me with my research... It's a stirling engine for charcoal stoves.... I got my diagram for the device and i just need help with the materials needed.... And some corrections on my diagra...
